Nearer, nearer

The days are getting nearer for our departure! The exact date is still unknown, but at this point it seems that it can be any day! I've been slowly preparing to go, but yesterday I bought the things I need to take and will pack today! This way, any day they tell us to be ready to go, I'll be ready!

The Lord is graciously moving in my heart preparing me for yet another year there! I was walking with my mom last night and we were talking about my leaving.  I was sharing that I think God still is prepping me, moving in my heart, bringing me excitement.  She reminded me of what I'm going to do and the need that is there! I'm going to share the hope found only in Jesus Christ with 71,995,000 people who don't know that! When I think about it in those terms I'm humbled that God chooses to use people to accomplish His will but what a privilege to be a part of something like this!

Pray He would keep working in the hearts of me and my team members readying us for an amazing year seeing Him work in our lives and lives of students all around us!

Ready for another year

I will be leaving for the middle east for another year in just over a week! I can't believe that I've been home for the summer and its already time to go back again! I've had a great summer with my family and friends which makes a little more difficult to go back.  I'm excited by faith right now, but now as soon as I begin to meet with students from last year and new students I will remember why I'm excited to be there and will love it!
